I've been using the phrase "Machines should think, people should work" to describe this for some time. Amazon/Kiva order processing, where the humans are just arms for the computers, is well known. Uber has also been mentioned. Marshall Brain's "Manna" is the SF precursor of this concept.
This has been pointed out repeatedly since Adam Smith visited the pin factory in 1776, and wrote, in the Wealth of Nations "One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations; to put it on, is a peculiar business, to whiten the pins is another; it is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper; and the important business of making a pin is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations."
Some people like it that way. Henry Ford, on assembly line labor management: "We shift men whenever they ask to be shifted and we should like regularly to change them—that would be entirely feasible if only the men would have it that way. They do not like changes which they do not themselves suggest. Some of the operations are undoubtedly monotonous—so monotonous that it seems scarcely possible that any man would care to continue long at the same job. Probably the most monotonous task in the whole factory is one in which a man picks up a gear with a steel hook, shakes it in a vat of oil, then turns it into a basket. The motion never varies. The gears come to him always in exactly the same place, he gives each one the same number of shakes, and he drops it into a basket which is always in the same place. No muscular energy is required, no intelligence is required. He does little more than wave his hands gently to and fro—the steel rod is so light. Yet the man on that job has been doing it for eight solid years. He has saved and invested his money until now he has about forty thousand dollars—and he stubbornly resists every attempt to force him into a better job!"
The history of auto labor relations indicates that task boredom isn't a big issue for many people. Workers have fought for higher wages, better benefits, shorter working hours, more breaks, and more dwell time between cycles. But not for job rotation.
A lot of people seem to be OK with dull, boring jobs, provided they get paid reasonably well for them and have enough time off.
